POP3 Advanced Server Port Numbers on a Treo 700w forchen81 03-01-2006

 I've been able to set up most of my mail accounts (Yahoo, MSN, Gmail, etc)
using Incomming Server (POP3) Port 110 and Outgoing Server (SMTP) port 25.
Howerver, I have a mail account that requires me to use a non-standard
Incoming and Outgoing Server Port.

I have to use an Outgoing Server Port of 2250. Does anyone know how I can
configure this in Windows Mobile 5.0 on a Treo 700w?

I use to have a Treo 650 and was able to configure it using Palm OS but
cannot find it/configure it on the 700w.

When I set my POP3 account on the Treo, I don’t have an advance option of
sort. I only have 4 screens in which I can configure my email account
information:

Screen 1 of 4: Enter email Address
Screen 2 of 4: User Information – Your Name, User Name, and Password
Screen 3 of 4: Account Information – Account Type (POP3)
Screen 4 of 4: Server Information – Incoming, Outgoing, Domain
Options:
Screen 1 of 3:
Connect and check for messages every: ___ Minutes
Screen 2 of 3:
Only display message from the last ___ days.
Require SSL connection
Outgoing mail requires authentication
Use separate settings

 try adding a colon and the port number to the server address... for example;

mysmtpserver.com:99

Unfortunately, adding the port number to the server address didn't work. I
still get System Administrator messages that state:

"Your message 'TEST subject' was not set and has been moved to the Drafts
folder.

The following recipients are invalid:"

I know that the recipient is valid because I successfully sent a test email
from my work email address. I recieved the test email in my POP3 account;
howeber, I cannot send.

We assume you know that "sending" is normally restricted by smtp servers
to ip addresses within the lan... i.e. when you are mobile, you need to
use an smtp server associated with your current mobile connection.

I mention this as the refusal message is "generic" and probably has
nothing to do with the addressees

See http://BevHoward.com/bhhpj.htm#SMTP for more info if you are not
clear on this.

Thank you Beverly, you pointed me in the right direction. I use Verizon and
if anyone is interested, I found out how to set it up using Verizon's ISP. I
set it up and it works great.

See below:

1.        Why can't I send email through my existing ISP mail account?
Some ISPs (Internet Service Providers) do not allow their customers to send
email from other networks such as Verizon Wireless' NationalAccess and
BroadbandAccess services. To accommodate Verizon Wireless customers who have
email accounts that do not allow relaying, Verizon Wireless has implemented
an outbound SMTP mail server for you to be able to send your email.
To utilize SMTP you will need to do the following:
1.        Change your Outgoing Mail Server to smtp.vzwmail.net. The steps to change
the Outgoing Mail Settings will vary by email client. Please refer to your
email client provider for instructions on how to change the setting.
2.        Create a VText.com profile if you do not already have a Verizon Wireless
VText.com profile. Visit www.vtext.com from your PC to register for free. A
TXT Messaging capable data device or phone is required.
        The credentials to access the send mail server will be the 10-digit mobile
number (used on VText.com) @vzwmail.net (i.e. 2025551212@vzwmail.net) for the
user name. For the password use the password established on www.vtext.com.
        NOTE: Credentials established on www.vtext.com may take up to 48 hours
before they will work on the Verizon Wireless SMTP server. If your password
works on www.vtext.com but not on the smtp.vzwmail.net server, try again in a
couple hours.

The Verizon Wireless SMTP server can be accessed from most ISPs (Internet
Service Providers) eliminating the need to reconfigure settings when
switching between Verizon Wireless and other networks.
